Federal Contracting and Cybersecurity - What Institutions of Higher Education Need to Know

Webinar | 03.03.16, 9:00 AM EST - 10:30 AM EST

Higher education institutions frequently act as government contractors, performing research and development under federal grants, cooperative agreements, and traditional contracts. Doing so opens up a wide range of opportunities for these institutions, but it also comes with complex regulatory requirements that can be difficult to manage. One area in which these challenges have become increasingly apparent is cybersecurity and privacy risk management. Doing business with the federal government means adopting a patchwork of cyber requirements that often vary across agencies and evolve over time. This webinar will help guide higher education institutions through this patchwork by providing an introduction into what some of those key agency requirements are and how higher education can get one step ahead of this ever-changing environment.

Key Topics Covered:

  • DoD Contracts
  • Classified Contracts
  • Federally Funded R&D Centers
  • Grants Case Study: HHS and NIH
  • Cyber Risk Management

But that does not tell the entire story. The Administration remains committed to exercising a heavy hand in AI, including by banning the U.S. government’s procurement of so-called “woke AI,” intervening in the development of data centers and the export of the AI technology stack, imposing an export fee for certain semiconductors to China, and assuming a stake in a U.S. semiconductor company. State legislatures are also racing to implement their own regulations, particularly around AI’s use in critical areas, such as healthcare, labor and employment, and data privacy. The many sources of regulation raise the specter of a fragmented compliance environment for businesses. This webinar will delve into the Administration’s AI strategy, going beyond the headlines to analyze:...
